'''Ninja''' is one of the five ''{{wp|Final Fantasy}}'' characters who first appears in the game ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', which was developed by [[Square Enix]], who also produced the entire ''Final Fantasy'' series of games. His traits and appearance are based on the Ninja job class from the ''Final Fantasy'' games. He is the leader of the ''Final Fantasy''  team in both games. He is dressed in a red Ninja uniform, and his special abilities deal with Ninjutsu. Ninja returns as a playable character in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]'' (which was also developed by Square Enix). Although he is a heroic character in his original game, in both ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'' and ''Mario Sports Mix'', he is depicted in a semi-antagonist role where he disguises himself and steals the trophy in the final cup of the game.

Ninja makes his debut appearance for the ''Super Mario'' franchise in ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]''. Ninja is one of five ''Final Fantasy'' characters in the game, alongside [[White Mage]], [[Black Mage]], [[Moogle]], and [[Cactuar]]. He is unlocked by winning the Rainbow Tourney on the Normal difficulty. As his skill-set is based on his speed, grace, and power, he has an All-Around playing style. Ninja's [[Special Shot]] is the [[Leaf Veil]], which lets him use his Ninjutsu skills to shoot the ball towards the net, and he dashes through a veil of leaves to dunk the ball with precision. The Leaf Veil is activated by tapping a capital '''N''', for Ninja. By completing the Rainbow Tourney on the Hard difficulty setting and achieving a gold trophy, an alternate version of Ninja's attire is unlocked.

Ninja makes his second appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise in ''[[Mario Sports Mix]]''. Ninja appears with the original ''Final Fantasy'' characters from ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3''. He maintains his playing style as an All-Around character. He is unlocked by beating one of the two Star Roads, located on the Star Cup Map.

Ninja's special shot involves him making two copies of himself to throw off opponents.  In dodgeball, the shots that the copies make do count. For all the other sports, only the real Ninja's shot will count.

In ''Mario Hoops 3-on-3'', an alternate form of Ninja's regular outfit can be unlocked by completing the Rainbow Tourney on Hard difficulty with a gold trophy. It replaces the red colors of his garb with indigo, as well as the dark red with a deeper indigo. The white accents are replaced with gold, and the orange rupees in his arm-guards are made pink. The chainmail underneath his top is much darker, and his helmet has a metallic ninja band on the front as opposed to the curved accent shape on his original costume.

====Special abilities====
===Special abilities===
Ninja's special abilities are centered around his use of Ninjutsu. In ''[[Mario Hoops 3-on-3]]'', Ninja even replaces a few standard abilities with Ninjutsu skills. Rather than side-step, Ninja teleports from side to side, and instead of [[Ground Pound|ground-pounding]], Ninja will jump in the air and summon down a spiral of flames. He also makes use of doppelgangers when doing various swift motions while playing, such as dunking. His special move in this game is the [[Leaf Veil]], and he uses a summoning circle to alter the effects of his ball, quickly sending it towards the hoop. This leaves him an opening to vanish through a gust of leaves directly to his ball, guaranteeing him a swift dunk.
